| Welcome Message Dear Colleague:We would like to invite you to participate in the 1st World Congress on Gallium-68 and Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRNT) which will take place on June 23-26, 2011 in Bad Berka, Germany. This Congress, co-organized by the Department of Nuclear Medicine/PET Center, Zentralklinik Bad Berka and the Institute of Nuclear Chemistry, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, is targeted to all chemists, physicians, and investigators dealing with generators, PET radiochemistry as well as molecular imaging and radio-nuclide therapy. Attendance should be particularly useful to those who are new in the field or are interested in broadening their understanding of the rapidly developing research and clinical applications of Ga-68 and other generator-produced PET radioisotopes, new PET radiopharmaceuticals as well as PRRNT.The congress aims at both - to educate and to offer a unique forum for high level scientific discussions on the recent developments in the exciting field of THERANOSTICS. We expect outstanding speakers from all over the world who certainly will give fascinating insights in their research and clinical work, thus creating new ideas and concepts on the way to personalized medicine.A number of companies have already accepted our invitation to participate in the Industry Exhibition which will present the latest technological developments in generator technology and Ga-68 modules, devices and labeling strategies.In addition, the congress offers the opportunity for a “Hands-on Training Course” on 68Ge/68Ga generators and for learning the practical principles of 68Ga labelling procedures. This course is organized (for a limited number of participants) on June 27-28, 2011 at the Institute of Nuclear Chemistry, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany.Aside from the congress activities you have the opportunity to explore Weimar, the city of Goethe and Schiller, and the European Capital of Culture in 1999. Exchange ideas and have interactions with colleagues from around the world - and make new friends!We are looking forward to meet you in Bad Berka and hope and expect that you will have an unforgettable stay!Sincerely,Prof. Dr. med. Richard P. Baum Prof. Dr. sc. nat. Frank Rösch
